Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
Can't complain about this pad's price or weight. The Shiny surface feels pretty warm after a bit, warmer than an old inflatable I used to have. Don't have to worry about punctures either. It doesn't pack down that small, but I'm rockin an old external frame pack so it doesn't matter as much for me.
This is great for car camping if you don't want to spend that much, but I use it for backpacking just as much.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
I can't understand all the high reviews for this product, nor do I understand how many people I saw on trail with this thing or a z-lite. I brought this up to around 11k in the Sierras, sleeping on gravel in about 35 degrees this past weekend and have to say it's the least comfortable thing I've ever slept on in a tent. Maybe it's because I'm a side sleeper, but this pad did nothing (zero) to cushion the "hot spots" at my hips and shoulders. The surface really just seemed hard / slippery to me. I actually have about 6 feet of grey foam I bought on REI outlet for about $15 that I've slept on that was more comfortable (though likely does not have the warming capabilities of this model.)In addition to being uncomfortable, it also packs huge compared to inflatables, and you have to pretty much keep it outside your bag. I've seen 1000 people with these things strapped to the outside of the bag, but have to think that without a cover / stuff bag for it, you're going to end up with a dusty, cracked on the edges, possibly carrying some nice poison oak oils, sleeping pad that introduces all that "stuff" into your tent. I'm taking this back, pronto, and exchanging. I'll take my chances with an inflatable, more comfortable, probably warmer, and packs smaller pad... with a repair kit.

Service and delivery comments:
this pad kept me warm and comfy camping for 3 weeks in the snow. i can't say if the aluminized side does much, maybe increases durability. it will not go flat. you can lay it on the ground and not have to worry about puncturing it. sleeping in a hammock, my personal experience has been the inevitable moisture and condensation collects between the ridges keeping me dry. in the morning i shake the water out of the ridges and the following night use the opposite side. the only drawback is it's size when packed away.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
We used it for hiking in backcountry @ King's Canyon Natl Park at 8000 ft of elevation. We set up our tent two nights on the ground and the third one on snow and were always comfortable and warm (in combination with a 0 degree sleeping bag).
The only downside of this foam pad might be that you have to be careful when putting down the backpack, because gravel and stones make the foam chip off or cut through it.
We bought the REGULAR sized one in combo with our sleeping bag - the length is ok, but it could use 2-3 inches of width!

Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
I have been using one of these for years and have to say that for the money you cannot get a better ground pad!! I have also tried a variety of self inflating pads and yes some may be a bit more comfy but the Ridge-rest will never go flat in the middle of the night. Drag it acorss the gravel and rock with out worry!! I have even shoved it in to my trekker chair!! It can easily be lashed to the outside of your pack, shoved in to a kayak or canoe or tied to your touring bike (I've tested these theories) and won't let you down at the end of the day. If you want a pad you can depend on get a ridge rest.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
I've had this ridgerest with me for a while now. It has served dual purposes as a night sleeping pad and also as importantly a sitting pad to keep me off the ground when hanging around the campsite. It durable and lightweight. It's not the easiest to pack, I tie it on the bottom of the backpack and it does well.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
I have had this pad for a couple years now and am very impressed with it. It's the most comfortable foam pad i've ever slept on and is very durable. Of course the expensive blow up pads are more comfortable than this one, but not anywhere near as durable, lightweight and inexpensive. I've heard people complain about it being bulky when rolled up, but that just means there is that much more loft there! Great R value and Well worth the money.

Comments about Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest SOlite Sleeping Pad:
I don't understand why people say its uncomfortable, I sleep quite soundly on this pad. It is a bit thicker than a regular blue foam pad, weighs a little more, but is noticeably warmer. I have brought this pad mountain climbing with me and I have nothing bad to say about it. As far as packing is concerned, I line my bag with it for use as an internal frame. It works great, maybe a little bulkier than I would like, but you can't beat the price, the weight, and the comfort.

Used this pad on my cot in an antelope hunting camp last Oct in Wyoming. I felt no cold drafts on my back, did not slip off the mat at any time, and never felt uncomfortable on it. It did the job real well while I was out there.
